A year and one month ago I met a man and it wasn't what I had planned.

I always loved him from afar, even when he was out at all the bars.

In-between these months, in-between the snow, he'd miss me and he'd let me know. I never wanted to make it a show, so I never let anyone know.

I always kept my distance because I knew I could love him again in an instant.

He called me tonight, it was sure a sight.

I think I love him again. Why did this begin?

at the drop of a hat,
just like that,
I love him, that rat

I am
Eve.
It is my task
To sample the fruit,
To romance the serpent,
To
Fall.
It is my task
To corrupt.

I am
Eve.
It is my duty to be pure.
My burden
Is skin
Is shame
Is
Pleasure.
It is my charge
To be a symbol,
To be a statue--
Smooth, perfect marble
Cold and unmoldable.

But
My flesh
Gives
Under fingers.
My smoothness
Has heat.
Has breath.
Has
Blood.

I am
Eve.
It is my calling
To be a paradigm.
Still and quiet as a
Painting or mural
Which can be pointed to
And admired.
It is my role.
I am something
To aspire to.
Something to acquire.
Something to
Protect.

I am
Eve.
It is my destiny
To disappoint.
It is my fate
To fail.
It is my study
To ******.

I have been to trial
By power.
It is my crime
To burn the garden.
It is my obligation
To be
Deceived.

I am Eve.
And I am
Unprepared.

You're not part of who I need to be.

I turn my
back on so
many people whom
I used to know
like the back of
my hand.
